SNAP UP STATELY LIFE IN CASTLE
EVER fancied being king queen of your own castle? A rare opportunity has come up to do just that. A two-bedroom ground-floor apartment has gone up for grabs at Clyne Castle in Mill Lane in Blackpill in Swansea, meaning your next move could see you take up residency in the 1791 Grade II-listed landmark, which was built by wealthy landowner Richard Phillips.
The castle and its extensive 52-acre grounds were bought by the affluent Vivian family in the 1860s and during their period of residency the castle played host to many distinguished guests – believed to include Queen Victoria, Winston Churchill and King Edward VIII. It was converted into luxury apartments in 2003.
On the market for £625,000, the apartment is located on the ground floor and features two bedrooms with the master bedroom having an en suite facility.
There’s a kitchen and breakfast room, an impressive lounge, as well as a bunk/ storage and shower room. It also features solid oak flooring, high ceilings and a sizeable and low maintenance south-facing patio seating area.
The stately castle is set behind secure wrought-iron gates set in the original stone wall boundary offering an imposing first impression with ample resident and guest parking and immaculately manicured grounds.
There is private access into Clyne Gardens, offering a full array of exotic plants and rare blooms as well as acres of lawn and pathways that meander through the gardens leading down to the beach and promenade. It also offers easy access to Singleton Hospital, the park and Swansea University.
A description on the Dawsons website reads: “Viewing highly recommended to admire this delightful apartment’s generous size, immaculate condition, and ideal location.”
